Then this is what that shall receive. I find it funny that after performing such an act, they would DARE say *we* would be the barbarians if we responded with miltary force. That's laughable.

Sure, sounds like a much better plan than making them write 1,000 times "I am a bad boy but the evil Americans made me do it."

You guys all need to understand something about military tactics. As long as the enemy is capable of going on the offensive, you have to care about his goals. If you are on the offensive, he has to care about yours. Their goals are not important, only ours.

This is my last attempt at being civil. Let's just assume for a moment, that France has the technological know-how to build a building complex capable of standing at 110 stories, and that they could somehow get 50,000 French people to stand each other long enough to actually get some viable work done. Now, let's assume that the same bastards that I would like to see turned into a collective puddle hijacked three Air-France jetliners and ran two of them into this building complex, killing a significant number of these French citizens, and then ran the third airliner into a significant government building (if you indeed have anything more significant than a sidewalk cafe). Are you trying to tell me that as a group, the French would just sit around on their collective asses sniffing wine corks and saying "turn he other cheek"? You're delusional. You'd be screaming for someone's head(s).

I'm sure the french gouvenement will raise an army and go kik some ass. anyway , what's next , unless you kill them all , your just giving more reason to do it again and again. i'm not saying we have to do nothing , i'm just saying that replying in an hanger is surly not the solution . are the united state army going to occupy all arabic contry ? or just replaying the golf war and go back home ? by the way , i like your vision of french .. ;P Gilles Dassac NeverSo France gilles@neverso.com

"I'm sure the french gouvenement will raise an army and go kik some ass." Man, that would be a first! (Sorry, is that intolerant?)

gilles dassac

Stop brown-nosing Stan, it's embarrassing to watch... :)

Just trying to stay out of trouble. I wonder if I could get away with razzing Texans?;P

Give it a shot. :) I think we've entered Chris's sleep time. We may be able to getaway with having our messages in the lounge for at least 3 or four hours per day. :)

I agree with gilles dassac. The problem with this situation right now is that we are all on an emotional high. Those who say you didn't lose a loved one is only kidding themselves when one believes the American people are one as it says in the Constitution. And those that are outside of our nation, to tell them they didn't lose a loved one, is also only kidding themselves when one believes that as a world, every person is united. I fear the US acting blinding with emotion. Most counties have. We have proven what happens when we have acted as such. Japan learned that American anger is deadly and devisating. Did all those people really have to die to win the war against evil? I believe America needs to step back from this situation, retire themselves from the shock and anger and look upon a resolve that is morale and from the heart and not from anger. If we react blindly to this, terrorism will never be defeated. This event may happen again, and quite possibly to the French and the Effiel Tower. Whose to know. I sure as hell do not want anyone to experience what we have just experienced, not even one my greatest enemy. I greatly appreciate how many countries have provided their sympathies and would ask that these sympathies continue long past this tragedy, for it's this sort of unity, that makes all of the pain bearable and makes us resilient and stronger. (ps. You have no idea how much I am trying to get a point through. Yet it's hard when their are those who close themselves off from my message. I have even attempted to write to the President to stop him from acting out of anger. I will continue to fight for peace and morale until my final breath. This is something I take 100% seriously. And this is something that I will never give up on. I only hope that maybe what I say will reach one person. From there, I pray for a 2-3 tree to be created. bad pun... Okay, so I'm not serious all the time :)

"anyway , what's next , unless you kill them all , your just giving more reason to do it again and again." You're statement is true. Another legitimate statement is that US will kill them all (or at least most capable of real damage). US will also destroy or greatly damage those nations that "harbor them." And yes, we are capable of doing that. In other wars such as WWII, Vietnam, Gulfwar, etc we did great damage even though the mainland wasn't hit and many Americans and Congress didn't support war. Now that the government is backed by the people and the funds granted and a NATO coalition is being formed, they we'll learn the meaning of the word "WAR." They believe that kiling is for the cause of religion. No religion says that, not even the Koran book. Fanatics that will harshly pay.

Eric Sanchez

So what are you saying, that u want terrorist to hit us again. You want us to back off and show the world how much of a coward we are. I respect your opinion, but I believe we must strike back. Imagine how many people lost relatives. How many professionals died. How much money was lost. How much hours of work went into constructing the twins. How much the economy will crash. How much the Palestinians celebrated. And you still want peace?

Damn - DAMN !!! :) Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.

Ah, just as well, I can't remember any of my Texas jokes anyway.
